I participated in Innovation Dojo 1st program in December 2016 and it was one of the greatest choice that I have made. Thanks for this amazing opportunity, I have learnt so much valuable skills. This program, has not only given us endless support, but also, taught us different sets of knowledge along the journey. The mentors have given out so much great advice and insights. They are always being very patient about helping teams out. I'm so honoured to have these amazing mentors and I would highly recommend their work!

His supportive personality helped me grow immensely over the 9 days as I learnt a plethora of new skills that will stay with me for a long time. The program was eye-opening and Josh’s positive and passionate attitude towards his work has been inspiring.
